Ask HN: What are some good CV template for a Software Engineer

13 points by zabi_rauf 12y ago

Hi, I was just looking into updating my CV but I don't know what template would be good for a Software Engineer. Most of the templates i found where either artistic (for designers) which i think aren't suitable and some templates don't conserve space. Can someone point me to a good template (MS Word or GDoc) for the CV. Thanks

  I share the same name with an accomplished AI researcher who has a Wikipedia page. Sometimes I wonder if I've received offers just because of that.

https://www.resumonk.com/resume_templates https://www.resumonk.com/resume_templates and https://jsonresume.org/themes/ https://jsonresume.org/themes/ are good for inspiration but you can't edit them in MS Word. An example CV structure I quite like is http://kelly-dunn.me/ http://kelly-dunn.me/ (HTML and PDF version).

  The kelly-dunn CV is really good looking (4.5/5)and clean in HTML. PDF, not so much.

  Yep jsonresume has good themes but don't use space efficiently. Resumonk has some decent themes, i might try that out. Thanks.

You can start with LaTeX templates from sharelatex.com. They have some really good templates.
